My horoscope tells me that I may be
the cause of my own sadness, as if
I could change the way the Moon
pulls and pushes water from the shores;
I wax and wane just as she does.
Venus wants to ground me
into the land, so I cover myself
with soil and hope flowers sprout up,
while Jupiter tells me to try
and not commit any acts of self-hatred,
at least for today, as if
he can conquer the Moon.
